I haven't bought any flowers yet this year. I almost stopped the other day to see if I would bring home a geranium for beside my front door, but no. Soon though I'm thinking.
I need a gardener ! The summers get too hot for my aging self and although I'd love to see flowers all over like I used to do them, I already know when it gets too hot, I will stop taking the best care of them, so I don't get many anymore.
Sad, sad,,,,, but I'll still have a few pots and some are better than none for sure.
All my flowers and a couple veggies are in pots on my deck these days. My kids choose and purchase the plants and they do all the work of getting them potted. All I have to do is keep them watered! It gives me a reason to go outdoors every morning.
That is so wonderful that your kids know how much it means to you and they make sure it happens. That is a wonderful reason to go outdoors for sure.
